Deerfield — A 20-year-old man from Chicago has been charged with possession of cannabis and driving under the influence of drugs. Billy J. Martin of the 2300 block of West Garfield Boulevard was also charged Friday with possessing alcohol as a minor after he was stopped at Lake-Cook and Ellendale Roads. Police stopped the car because just one headlight was working and said they saw open beer bottles in an open beer case and smelled beer and an odor similar to that of burned cannabis coming from inside the car. A search of the car allegedly turned up the ends of five marijuana cigarettes, rolling papers, four bottles of beer and two bottles of cognac, according to the police report. Police said Martin failed a field sobriety test.
